Could you share an hour a week with Jéssica?

Jéssica lives alone and has no family nearby; a weekly hour of conversation would transform the week.

Duque de Caxias
I'm writing for my neighbor Jéssica, who's 84. Jéssica lives alone in Duque de Caxias, and lost a sister last year. The nearest family lives 370 kilometers away. Jéssica loves crossword puzzles, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Wednesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
